My first computer was a Pentium-100. With the help of Fido and a screwdriver, we overclocked it from 100 to 130MHz. Warcraft and C&C started flying. The next computer was Duron 800. Then I don't remember. I stopped monitoring frequency and performance. I skipped all articles on Habré and HackerNews about "processors". And then I came across an article by the author of Computerra Sergei Golubitsky "From the life of those who are poor" and I freaked out a little. Did not believe.
The new Apple processor is three and a half times faster than the Intel Core i7 quad-core processor. The graphics performance built into the M1 chip is six times faster.
I told the Appleophiles. Began to look closely. One by one, joyful / disturbing news appeared on Habré "Your computer no longer belongs to you" and "Intel crashed . "
A jump in performance is not 2 times as in the 2000s, but 3-6 times! Wow. But there is a price for the power of the dark lord.
Reviews from owners
On November 17th, Paul Hewdson got the new MacBook Pro .
Xcode 12.3 beta unpacks in 5 minutes on an M1 processor, and in 13 minutes 22 seconds on an Intel i9.
The tweet author's project shares that for programming M1 is showing impressive results. His Unwrap project (13k lines Swift, 10k Obj-C, more) lasted 19.5 seconds on Intel and flew in 11.7 seconds on the M1. AudioKit (39k C, 27k Swift, 12k C ++) - 73 seconds on Intel and 31 seconds on M1.
A 16-inch MacBook Pro with an Intel processor with 8 cores and 64GB of RAM cost $ 6,000, and a new one with an M1 and 16GB of RAM costs $ 2,000.

MacBook Air M1 (2020) vs MacBook Pro M1 (2020)
Conclusion
For several years I considered megahertz to be a schoolboy and a student, for 17 years I didn’t care about gigahertz, but now I noticed. For all my dislike for Apple, I expressed respect for the quality of the iPhone 10-11's photos and videos, and now I congratulate Apple on the victory.
